Our rice recipe

[Tony R]

Start with 1 cup of regular rice and about 1/4 chopped onion.
Put in a pot with a little oil

Fry until it turns a little brown

Then add 8 oz of tomato sauce and add water to fill 2 cups. Add to the rice.

THen add 1 tbs of this

Taste it. Add salt if need. I added a few shakes from the salt shaker


Then bring to a boil and then bring it down to low.

After 20-30 min it should be done.

Tony, does this taste anything like you get in Mexican restaurants or is that a different recipe.

This taste nothing like what you get at restaurants.
It's a simple clean taste. This recipe is pretty common in our family. I don't know about other Mexican families because I never asked and it usually taste great.
Try it....I hope you like it.

 

[RJ Banks]

I plan on it along with the beans in the near future. Thanks, will let you know how they turn out.

Add some dill and more onions and its the filling for cabbage rolls.

I use a can of diced tomatoes, onion, cumin, salt, sometimes bullion. I made "Spanish Rice" (my momma used to make it) earlier this week.....I used the pressure cooker, and added some (85% brown rice, 15%) dried black beans. It was my first time using the pressure cooker for rice but no complaints. I fried the onion and garlic in the bottom of the pot but I had the temp up too high, it started smoking so water was added earlier than I wanted...next time I'll brown the rice like you.

I have played about following different recipes trying to get the redish color in the rice and have always been disappointed with the results. Made this last night and was very pleased with the result - this will now be my goto recipe!!! Many thanks to Tony R for sharing.
